"Haha! Look at you lot! All getting fatter by the day!!" Cackled Diesel as he rolled past the sheds. The little Western gang just hissed and snorted at his comment.

Wild concept that shouldn’t be wild and the coldest take ever: disabled adults are *adults* and not just children trapped in adult bodies

Disabled adults have sex

Disabled adults do drugs

Disabled adults curse

Disabled adults get piercings and tattoos

Disabled adults can make adult decisions and act and behave like adults because we are adults

It’s just so weird for people to constantly infantilize me all because of my mobility aids when I’m not a child!!!

I think it's rlly funny how when Gustavo asks Thomas to tell him about Gordon in The Other Big Engine, Thomas immediately starts talking about the incident in The Great Race. Like I hadn't heard it b4 because it starts to fade out the audio but I listened enough today and he talks about Gordon setting off without a safety valve. Gustavo is like "Tell me about him :)" And Thomas' immediate response is: "Oh okay! Well one time he almost died :)"

How to upset the railway

For some reason my favourite part about Thomas and Friends is the roasts, but we also can’t forget the sayings and developed slang the engines all seem to share, love makes the world go round but throwing shade keeps the railway from collapsing out of boredom.

It wouldn’t shock me if engines took stabs at each other as a boredom breaker, but it also wouldn’t suprise me if engines spent most of their travel time thinking of better comebacks for their next meeting at the junction.

Here’s some of the sayings and insults I’ve heard in the show

Fizzling fireboxes (Any feeling)

Bubbling boiler (Shock or excitement)

Flatten my funnel (Suprise)

Bust my buffers (Shock and frustration)

Bossy boiler (Standard clapback)

Old square wheels (Henry)

Galloping sausage (Gordon

Rusty red scrap iron (James)

Some steamy remarks seem to follow alliteration as seen above but some of the insults don’t so I guess it’s not a rule. I think that vocabulary could be expanded on with some more fun insults though.

Let’s try and follow that steam style and sling some mud.

Wheezy whistles (Young to old)

Bunker brat (Oof any tank engine)

Little shed stirrer (Old to young)

Ya puny pipe peeper (Fun jab)

Cheeky chuff (Old to young)

Stink stacks (insult)

Old tired tender (Young to old)

Tender ache (Probably directed at Gordon on weekdays)

Don’t get your tubes in a knot (Calm down)

Wee wally whistle (Donald and Douglas to anyone)

Boring bogies (Anyone)

We’ve seen that Steamies have their own slang and lingo which is interesting in of itself, but it makes me wonder if Diesels also have their own culture, insults and quirky sayings too.

Let’s try and make some for them.

Guzzle gasket (Engines with poor fuel efficiency)

Greasy guts (Standard jab)

Flippin’ flywheels (Suprise)

Creaking crank n clutches (frustration or shock)

Buzzling batteries (More frustration)

Thumpin’ throttles (Joy or shock)

Well sugar my tank (Giving up)

Old backwards bogies (directed at poor BoCo)

We could even assume Electric engines have their own list of clapbacks too.

Tap my charger (Suprise)

Dinky DC (Small jab)

Fuzzy fuses (Intelligence insult)

Circuit clowns (Group stab)

I’m shocked (Of course)

Get bolted (Go away)

Flip my fuses (Shock)

Buggy battery (Quick stab)

I wish I had more for electric locomotives but it occurs to me that I don’t even understand how they work let alone know half of the parts.

There’s no end to banter and arguments engines can have with each other, if a story feels a little flat some lively spice between the characters lifts things up.

hopefully the next thing I post is a little more wholesome cause heaven knows I was raised better then this.

40 years of Thomas and Friends. Happy 40th anniversary to the show!

I saw the original and thought of them

I'm so self-conscious about posting art anymore because it always ends up part of a chaotic sketch pile that makes no sense... unfortunately these drawings end up being the ones I love the most 😭

[master-of-the-railway]

Gordon sometimes acts like a father for Thomas when Edward's not around. This is one of those times.

⛈️ThunderStorm...

Got carried away doing a sketch again! Lol! This piece doubles as a test for Henry's new design and for some effects I'll be using in the web comic! Hope Henry can find a safe place to hide while the storm blows over!

Bonus: Hen Hen looking at somethin. :) What do you think he sees?

In which Guy Sand, second eldest son of Charlie Sand, somehow becomes a popular Youtuber by virtue of working with Sodor's very useful (albeit sometimes cheeky) engines. It helps that he knows his stuff and also gets a few VIP guest appearances that certainly spark some curiosity and laughs...

So I've been watching a lot of Girl With The Dogs videos recently, and thought it'd be funny to do a parody redraw where one of the railway staff started an "engine grooming" channel, where they wash and paint the engines while also giving the viewers information on their build/class and specific needs.

I am now kind of attached to "Guy" and might adopt him as an actual OC that primarily mans the Washdown Station...

I'm putting away all the posts for my ocs and aus just due to some personal reasons. I apologize for getting rid of a lot of asks but I promise you that your asks brought me joy and all of that lore is not lost forever. All still crammed in my noggin. I just feel more protective and nervous about my stuff nowadays. Got a long going on IRL so I won't be very active but hey, feel free to shoot a message if we've talked b4 and you wanna chat again. I don't mind it, it just might take time for me to see it.

I've gotten a teensy bit paranoid as of late, but I'm trying my best to manage it. I might return in full one day. Might not. It really all depends. But thank you for sticking with me nonetheless.
